³ *J. Takakusu*, A Record of the Buddhist Religion by I-tsing translated, p. XXXVII. Cf. *Ed. Huber* in BEFEO VI, 1906, pp. 1 ff., 36; *S. Lévi* in T'oung Pao, sér. 2, t. V, 1904, p. 297 ff.; t. VIII, 1907, p. 110 ff. The Chinese "Tripiṭaka," though also divided into a Vinaya, Sūtra and Abhidharma, does not, however, mean the same as the Pāli Tipitaka, for it contains many non-canonical texts besides the canonical ones, in fact even Brahmanical philosophical treatises (*s. Takakusu* in JRAS 1896, p. 415). In the Tibetan Kanjur, too, which is also designated as a "Tripiṭaka" and consists of a Vinaya, Sūtra and Abhidharma, much is included which does not admit of comparison with the Tipitaka, and was certainly not a part of the Canon.
